My parents have a wireless meter that conects directly into your switch board and transmits how much money your spending on power per hour. I monitored a few appliances and some bigger things that used a lot more power.. I found it quite hard to get an exact number of how much each thing was costing per hour as the numbers were constantly changing.
Dryer: 40 cents per hour
Washing machine: 10 cents per hour
TV: 10-20 cents per hour
Dishwasher: 45 cents per hour
Toaster: 35 cents per hour
Spa pool: $1.40 per hour
Oven: 50 cents per hour
I also tryed to look at an average number over a small amount of time and found that it usually stayed around $2 a per hour and when i went around and tryed to turn everything off that i could find I still could only get it to around 60 cents per hour. Also found that the device has an alarm on it that you can set. and when you go over the amount of money per hour the device make s aloud beep noice to alert you that your power usage is very high.
